Much as Bitcoin may be an exit/safe haven it is not going to be used for trade payments between major power blocs. Bitcoin has already been 90% KYCed, taxed, tracked and traced and defined as a speculative commodity plaything- not a p2p payments protocol. In practical terms almost everyone using it as a MoE even in 'liberal western democracies' is breaking the law by failing to report each and every zap and account for capital gains! Bitcoin has already been outfoxed by the sly legacy fiat operators. They preserve their MoE hegemony with cunning and determination- so much so you do not even see it!
